I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed

of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. Which phrase from the excerpt uses informal English?

The last sentence is very formal. It does not contain the first person pronoun (I or me) which is one of the marks of informal writing. Having given you the answer, may I say  that question is almost totally irrelevant. I do not mean that you are at fault for having asked it. You are only asking for an answer, and that was given.

What I really mean to say is that I hope you get to read more of Amy Tan's remarks about her mother's English. They are astonishing observations and should be required reading by every student taking English or American Literature.

Thank you for posting this question. I didn't there was more to Tan's essay about her mother's English that I didn't know about, and I'm glad to know there is more.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

This is an incomplete sentence.

Explanation:

Complete sentence has both subject and predicate. Subject is the person who is performing the action and predicate usually contains the verb and the rest part of the sentence. It has complete meaning or makes sense. Incomplete sentence would have either of the two missing.

The given phrase "If I had intended to buy the car" is an incomplete sentence. There should be a second part or predicate of the sentence as well. For example: what would have happened or what would be done, "If I had intended to buy the car". It only mentions the subject part of the sentence.

Read the sentence. The lawyer presented a clear argument to the jury it was unbelievable how influenced they were by his case in
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The best revision of this sentence is the following:

The lawyer presented a clear argument to the jury (it was unbelievable how influenced they were by his case) in the hopes of winning the trial.

A pair of parentheses needs to be used in order to separate this information from the rest of the sentence and facilitate reading and comprehension. The information in the parentheses is related to the meaning of the sentence but in some way it interrupts the flow, so a pair of parentheses is necessary in order to indicate this.
